Geographers and botanists define the taiga as the forests of the northern hemisphere, in which coniferous trees grow predominantly. Whatever it was, but their area is almost 9 million square meters. km. The geographical zone of the taiga is characterized by harsh natural conditions, short summers and cold winters, but still there are people who prefer to live in these forests, far from large cities.
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, the population density in the taiga zone of Russia is not at all the same as in the central part of the country, but many people live in the taiga. Some of them are representatives of numerous indigenous peoples, many of whom have preserved their national way of life and way of life, continuing to engage in reindeer husbandry and hunting in order to feed themselves. Representatives of these nomadic tribes spend the whole year in the taiga, staying in it for the winter. Like all nomads, they build mobile dwellings from animal skins, which are heated by hearths built right in such chums. In the summer, in that month and a half, when the taiga is not covered with snow, they gather mushrooms and berries, making supplies for the winter, but the main part of their diet is fish and deer meat, as well as those products that are delivered to them by helicopters.
Step 2
But in the taiga there are also stationary settlements, villages and settlements consisting of log houses. In these villages there are boarding schools for children of taiga, medical institutions. Residents of such villages even grow vegetables in their small vegetable gardens, but some of the products are also delivered from the mainland. The population of such villages is engaged in folk crafts, but recently, many have moved to cities where there is work and the opportunity to educate children in universities.
Step 3
For many people, the taiga is a workplace: geologists, oil and gas workers, gamekeepers and other representatives of "romantic" professions work here. They live in cordons or in special towns, many of them work on a rotational basis. The food supply in the special townships is centralized, and those who live in cordons have to wait for helicopters or go “to the base” on their own, sometimes overcoming several tens of kilometers in the taiga.
Step 4
But do not feel sorry for these people - they feel great in those places where there are no shopping centers, traffic jams and the Internet. Many of them live in accordance with the natural and logical laws of nature, preferring communication with her to communication with modern civilization.
